"Apparently unable to slow down for my friend's obvious wobbling, he knocked
her off her bike" "The next cyclist we saw came upon us in a similar manner, cursing us loudly as he passed (with plenty of space). My friend, shaken from her fall, and then from the animosity of other cyclists, took some persuading to get back on her bike and is unlikely now to try cycling again" http://www.thisisbristol.co.uk/Angry...#axzz2aEI24Dlk |

I find the best one can do is to not let yourself be upset by them and try to have as little to do with them as possible. |

You're right; it is almost impossible, but unless you need 100% proof beyond all reasonable doubt, a judgment within an acceptable level of accuracy can be made on the basis whether or not the individual is riding a bicycle. True, you won't be right all the time if you treat such people as failing to conform to accepted behavioural standards and/or as are indifferent, or even hostile, to the comfort or needs of other members of the community as a whole, but if you do, you'll be right more often than you'll be wrong. A minute's silent observation at any significant road junction (with traffic lights) in Central London will confirm that. I find the best one can do is to not let yourself be upset by them and try to have as little to do with them as possible. Equally true. |

Many of the latter are psycholists. |

Many of the latter are psycholists. Wrong as usual. See MrNugent above. It's all cyclists, not a particular type of cyclists. And MrNugent just KNOWS. |

It sounds like a heart-warming story of one cyclist helping someone else to become a cyclist, while thugs on bikes berated them.

But what makes you say that they're not cyclists? Do you know them all? |
